SUMMER LOVIN BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Summer Lovin Blog Hop. 

Summer is my favorite season. It's the perfect time to fall in love. I know we can't plan when that certain someone will walk into our life, but if you're lucky enough to come across your soul mate in the season, you'll find a stroll on the beach, a late afternoon picnic in the park, a sunset, or watching a beautiful sunset will add to the mood. 

Savannah had no idea a chance enconter would lead to a season of change.

BLURB

Savannah Mason, a career minded journalist, spends long hours at work, hoping to take the spot as anchor. She continues to fight for independence and refuses to allow her demanding father to take control of her life, despite his wish for her to take over his surgical practice. On her darkest day twelve years prior, she agreed to give her baby up for adoption. Now, on her daughter’s birthday, a chance encounter gives Savannah an opportunity to explore a corner of her heart she thought was lost forever. Rob Sinclair a renowned surgeon and NY Times best-selling author has a new release and needs a promo spot on the television show, The News Stop. When Savannah gets to conduct the interview, a door opens to her future. But can she walk through that door? The last thing she wants is a relationship, especially one with a divorced doctor who happens to have two small children. This man who seems all wrong for her slowly weaves his way into her heart. But before she is free to accept this love, she must face the unsettled issues in her life. Rob’s commitment to climbing the ladder of success and providing a good life for his children, keeps him on the road for days at a time. When he meets the assertive newswoman, desire and passion awaken his broken spirit. Savannah and Rob’s strong attraction is undeniable as they journey to a place where honesty and the power of forgiveness can guide them both home. Will it be enough to heal the scars of the past and allow them another chance at love?

EXCERPT

"Would you like to come inside for coffee or tea?" Savannah "I'd love to," he answered without hesitation. 
Once at her doorstep, she fumbled for her keys. One part of her didn't want the night to end. 
Rob followed behind her and broke the silence. "So, this is what the inside of a newswoman's place looks like." He glanced around. 
If only she'd straightened up earlier in the day. The dining room table looked like a cyclone hit it. Between the newspaper pile, junk mail, and paper plates you couldn't even see the table. "I've been so busy lately." 
"Tell me about it. My kids constantly complain how many hours I work. I'm lucky if I can spare a moment at the end of the day to myself." 
The mention of his children reinforced the reason why she should put a halt to the playful flirtation. The wall she had set up to keep her safe from sorrow and guilt hit her in the face. She retreated to a safe place inside her heart, whenever she came close to a reminder of her past. Savannah was skilled at putting her feelings aside and instead put a smile on her face. 
"Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Do you prefer regular or decaf or how about organic green tea?" 
"Tea sounds good to me. Green tea carries health benefits, too." 
"I'll be right back." How cute, a medical reference. A fresh brewed tea took a few minutes in the new system she'd purchased at a specialty shop. A bag of oatmeal cookies made with all natural ingredients came in handy and she reached for them along with the cups. When the tea was done, she put a few cookies on the tray and carried it to the living room. The last thing she expected was to play hostess. 
"Here you go." She placed it down on the coffee table. 
Rob patted the spot next to him. "It's time to relax. You've had a tiring day." He took a few sips of tea and placed the mug down on a coaster. 
His doting words reminded her of the typical thing a doctor would say, but his caring nature appealed to her. With Rob sitting so close, her hands shook. They exchanged playful glances. Rob stood and went over to the sliding glass doors. "You have a great view from here." 
She got up and slowly moved toward him. Her chest tightened with each step. As she approached him and admired his broad shoulders, it dawned on her he could be a candidate for People's sexiest man alive. Control yourself. 
"I'm happy here," she admitted. "I love it when the morning light shines on the water and it mimics fine pieces of crystal." 
Rob slowly approached her. His gaze fixed on her, sent shivers from head to toe. Afraid of what might happen next, she turned away. They were too close for comfort. An electric energy surged between them. Before she could stop him, Rob reached for her and pulled her up against his chest. "You're an amazing woman, Savannah." His lips met hers and he cradled her head in his hands as if she was a precious jewel. It all happened so quickly, she didn't have time to react. The warmth of his touch sent waves of heat down her stomach and in between her legs as the world stood still. When Rob's hands moved slowly across her back, it took her to a level of arousal she never expected. She found herself spellbound by the feel of his rock hard body pressed up against her chest. All of the emotions she'd kept inside emerged when Rob held her tight. When they finally parted, she stood frozen in shock with her heart pounding and her ears ringing. 
His expression made him look as if he broke the law with his eyes practically popping out of his head. He quickly took a step back. "I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry for my rude behavior." 
"You weren't rude. I didn't stop you."
